Flamini Signs For Milan
125 guns May 5th, 2008
From the Reserves to the Rossonieri.
AC Milan have confirmed that Mathieu Flamini will join them this Summer on a four year contract, having completed a medical this afternoon.
Flamini will be seen as the long-term successor to Rino Gattuso as Milan’s midfield enforcer.
Flamini’s last appearance for the club came in our Champions League exit at Anfield - doubtless his injury and departure from the field of play had a big impact on the final result.
He is not a special player. Technically, he is accomplished but not outstanding. However, his incredible stamina was reflected in the fact that he covered more ground than any other Premier League player this season. His passing was consistent, and his tackling ferocious. Furthermore, unlike Patrick Vieira and Gilberto before him, he liberated Cesc Fabregas and granted the Spaniard license to attack and score goals.
The race to replace him starts now. It’s a big call, Arsene. Here’s hoping you get it right.
